Welcome to the Sauder School of Business Prediction Markets
at the University of British Columbia. In our prediction markets,
the ultimate values of the contracts being traded are based on the
outcome of political events in Canada such as provincial or federal
elections, as well as other select economic or political events.
Participants invest their own funds, buy and sell listed
contracts, earn profits and bear the risk of losing money.

Our prediction markets are operated as a not-for-profit venture.
The method of issuing contracts and making final payoffs on these
contracts ensures that we do not realize financial profits or suffer
losses. We do not charge any transaction fees.

The exclusive purposes for conducting the prediction markets
are teaching and research.
Participants learn first-hand about the operation of a
financial futures market and, because they have an added incentive to do so,
learn more about the political or economic events associated with the contracts.
As a research project, our markets generate valuable data
that provide insights into market and trader behaviour.

Participation in our prediction markets
is open to all Canadian residents who are at least 19 years of age.
Investments are limited to $1,000 per investor.
